YOU CAN WATCH THIS PRESENTATION IN MUSIC HERE (You have a link on the first slide): http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/sandamichaela-1382720-firenze-piazza-duomo2/Thank you!This bell tower takes its name from the fact that it was designed by the great artist Giotto. It rises, slender and sheer, to the right of the cathedral. It is clad in polychrome marble. Its plan is square and it is reinforced at the corners by octagonal buttresses. It stands 84.7 m. tall. Giotto first began work in 1334. By the time the artist died, he had completed only the lower order, with its distinctive reliefs set in hexagonal panels. Work continued under the supervision of Andrea Pisano and was completed in 1359 under Francesco Talenti who was responsible for the top three floors, which are marked by broad gabled twin- and three-light mullioned windows. These lighten the massive structure, which terminates in a high crowing cornice. The sculptures, reliefs and statues are an integral part of the structure and not mere decorative elements

Piazza del Duomo is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence, and is one of the most visited place in the Europe and the world
Here, in the heart of Florence, we find the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore with the Cupola del Brunelleschi, the Giotto's Campanile, and the octagonal Baptistery
Campanila lui Giotto se află în Piazza del Duomo din Florenţa. Această clopotniţă este una din principalele opere de artă gotică florentină. Aliniată cu faţada Catedralei Santa Maria del Fiore şi în faţa Baptisteriului Sf. Ioan, această splendidă construcţie atrage privirea şi admiraţia oricărui iubitor de artă prin forma sa, bogatele decoraţiuni sculpturale şi incrustaţiile de marmură multicoloră.
Giotto’s Campanile is a free-standing campanile that is part of the complex of buildings that make up Florence Cathedral on the Piazza del Duomo. Standing adjacent the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Baptistry of St. John, the tower is one of the showpieces of the Florentine Gothic architecture with its design by Giotto, its rich sculptural decorations and the polychrome marble encrustations.This slender structure stands on a square plan with a side of 14.45 meters (47.41 ft). It attains a height of 84.7 meters (277.9 ft) sustained by four polygonal buttresses at the corners These four vertical lines are crossed by four horizontal lines, dividing the tower in five levels.When Giotto died in 1337, he had only finished the lower floor with its marble external revetment: geometric patterns of white marble from Carrara, green marble from Prato and red marble from Siena.
All the present works of art in the campanile are copies. The originals were removed between 1965 and 1967 and are now on display in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, behind the cathedral.
